Decks & Porches in Windsor

Decks & Porches for Windsor homes

Windsor's housing ranges from early-1900s homes in Walkerville and the older core to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions. Windsor's older homes often have small, original back steps or aging decks built decades ago without modern footings. A common Windsor project is replacing a tired deck with a properly supported one that suits the yard, along with front porch rebuilds that restore curb appeal on character homes.

What's included

Wood and composite decks, covered porches and railings built on solid footings. Depending on your project, the work can include:

• Pressure-treated decks
• Cedar decks
• Composite and PVC decking
• Covered porches
• Railings and stairs
• Deck replacement
• Design consultation.
• Drawings and quote.
• Permits and locates.
• Build.

Full details, our process and common questions are on our main decks & porches page.

Local conditions in Windsor

Windsor sees hot, humid summers, strong thunderstorms and repeated freeze-thaw cycles each winter, all of which are hard on roofs, siding, eavestroughs and wood trim. Mature trees on many older streets add leaf build-up and shade that can hold moisture against the house, so we pay close attention to drainage, flashing and ventilation.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for decks & porches in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Does the deck need a permit, and who applies for it?
• How deep will the footings go, and how are they sized?
• What guard height and railing system are included?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in Windsor are issued by the City of Windsor's building department, and zoning rules come from the City's zoning by-law. Requirements depend on the scope of work, so we confirm what applies to your project during planning and handle applications for the work we're doing.
